    Have any new homes or schools be planned that now aren’t being built?

    With that said, I’m giving up just over three percent of the money i gave to the dod...largely because the dems refused other money to be budgeted to Homeland Securty to fund border security. So it’s up to the DoD

    You are definitely a right winger, because a middle of the road person wouldn't defend the bullshit that this president says and does.

    I agree both parties are jacked up, but it's no excuse for the garbage we see from this president.

    Btw tell me how what is happening at the border has changed your life.

    How are they going to be built if the money is being diverted.

    So now you are personally sending money to the DOD. Smfh.

    HAhaa i guess you just don’t grasp the legality of all this. Because a welfare program is poorly designed and dems don’t want to fix it, it’s not a national security. Moreover there is nothing the military can do to fix it.

    Read up on the National Emergencies Act.

    I'm only supposed to care about this country if the trouble is literally in my backyard? Sorry, that's not how I roll. I care about the good of the country ---- the whole country ---- because I love this country. I'm not self-centered and only concerned with my little corner of the planet.


    Bowling alleys? Bowling alleys? You would prioritize a new bowling alley above national security? That's surprising even coming from you, superbad. :spin:

    Hell we all pay that and as someone who served I understand what it means when you take money away from service members for a crisis Trump created.

    There is no proof that the funds would come from NEW schools, daycares, homes, gyms, bowling alleys, etc.

    The crisis at the border existed long before Trump took office. If congress gave a crap they would step up and do something.

    Even if it did there would not be an issue here if congress would step up and do its job instead of playing politics.

    Me either that is why I served to make the sacrifice for this country. I am a disabled veteran so please don't try to tell me about love for this country.


    Serve for a few years and then come back and talk to me. You have service members who serve in remote theaters and yes gyms, bowling alleys, swimming pools, etc. are moral boosters for those who serve making the sacrifices to keep your ass safe.

    Well I suggest you pick up a weapon and stand a post for a few years and then tell us how much money they are wasting. Smfh. Right wing hypocrites.

    Never said you didn’t pay taxes.

    You need to keep up, the dems got away from the trump created the crisis line awhile ago. It was silly anyway, trump did not create the drug and human trafficking trade. I mean I guess you can blame him for the booming economy that is attracting more and more illegals...but that’s gonna backfire

    If I brought you a fresh baked pie you would likely be happy. If I brought you another one next week you would maybe think it’s a little odd but eat and enjoy the pie. The following week you would probably be wondering when I’m going to show up with your pie. I do and you are happy. After six months of this the next week ends and I’ve not delivered your pie. You think you got screwed out of your pie.

    Why would I ever want to be part of an organization responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of innocent people for profit?

    "Its pulling funds". So before you get yourself in a twist, what does pulling funds mean? Because your article didn't say. The Gov't relocates fund with the depts all the time.

    That tells me that what ever the DoD is pulling from is small project or something not really needed.
